Hello friends,  
  
  
  
I created a “Checkbox group” input on my form and I’m trying to save the selections to the Lead record, but without success. I already try custom fields “Text”, “Textarea” and “Select” but nothing work.  
  
  
  
When I open the lead, on the “Events” I saw the options checked on form submit, ok. But in the Lead details the field are always empty.

- Every time I changed the the custom field, I update the input form to link it and submitted again the form with the lead data.  
  
  
  
What’s the right way to store it?  
  
  
  
Thanks

Hello friends,

When I open the lead, on the “Events” I saw the options checked on form submit, ok. But in the Lead details the field are always empty.

What’s the right way to store it?

Thanks

I thought there was an issue created for this already, but cannot find it. Could you create one?
